Strigolactone distribution in Arabidopsis root at the tissue and cellular levels.
(A) Signal intensity (arbitrary units) of roots treated with EGO10A-BP, EGO10B-BP, or EGO10-mD-BP, with and without Antimycin A (ATPi; 10 μM). Signal was quantified (using IMAGEJ) in nine shoot-ward segments (100 μm each) from the agar cube used to apply the fluorescent molecules to the root. All experiments were repeated at least three times, two replicates per repeat, with a minimum of five seedlings per replicate in each experiment. Means of replicates were subjected to statistical analysis by Student's t-test (P ≤ 0.05). ∗Statistically significant differences between means of EGO10A-BP (blue) and EGO10B-BP (light blue) or EGO10-mD-BP (green) treatments. ŦStatistically significant differences between means of EGO10A-BP and EGO10A-BP + ATPi treatments. #Statistically significant differences between means of EGO10-mD-BP and EGO10-mD-BP + ATPi treatments.
(B) Root-hair length (μm) in root segments above the agar cubes containing EGO10A-BP, EGO10B-BP, EGO10-mD-BP, or naked-BP. All experiments were repeated at least three times, two replicates per repeat, with a minimum of five seedlings per replicate in each experiment. Means of replicates were subjected to statistical analysis by multiple-comparison Tukey–Kramer test (P ≤ 0.05). Different letters above the bars indicate statistically significant differences between means.
(C) Images of roots treated with EGO10A-BP or naked-BP. Green indicates EGO10A-BP or naked-BP signal, blue indicates DAPI staining. Yellow arrows denote the epidermis cell layer. Blue, red, and white arrows indicate EGO10A-BP staining in endosome-like bodies, cytoplasm, and nucleus envelope, respectively.
(D) Images of roots treated with EGO10A-BP or EGO10A-BP + ATPi followed by brefeldin A (BFA). Red, FM4-64 staining; green, EGO10A-BP signal. BFA compartments are indicated by white arrows. Yellow arrows mark EGO10A-BP signal in the cytoplasm. Inset: enlarged BFA body.
(E) Images of roots treated with EGO10A-BP followed by brefeldin A (BFA) treatment. In the Golgi marker-expressing lines (WT [6-1] and gnl1-2) ST-RFP, red indicates ST-RFP signal and green, – EGO10A-BP signal; in the endoplasmic reticulum marker-expressing line ER-ck-CFP (CS16256), red indicates FM4-64 staining; green, EGO10A-BP signal; and blue, ER-ck signal. BFA compartments are indicated by white arrows.
